Here's a question for an answer to which I've been looking for but haven't found yet. This is more of a HTML/Javascript question than anything else.

Let's say I have the following HTML snippet:

...


some text

here

to fill up the space


...

Is there a way to make the onClick event take precedence over the href link in the browser (short of removing the 'a' tag alltogether)?

I realize that the above snippet is probably not the best coding practice, but it's a result of an automated process which I need to modify.
